highschooler Chii-chan punished for lying
Chii-chan just arrived home, the smell of cooked dinner has escaped the entrance, the calming feel of being home. But today Chii-chan feels anything but calm, in her school bag is a skeleton in her cupboard, an examination paper filled with crosses. If mother was made aware of her C grade results, she will definitely be angry... after all the worst she had gotten so far was a B. Just thinking about it, Chii-chan rubbed her head with worries.
"Welcome home Chii-chan." Takagi walked out of the kitchen still wearing her aprons, "Dinner is ready."
"Hmm? Chii-chan you don't look so good, do you not feel well.", her daughter's worried expressions did not escape Takagi's gaze, quickly Takagi walked up to her daughter, caressing the forehead.
"Not too warm..."
"Ahhhhh I'm ok mommy!", Chii-chan panickly let out an unnatural smile, "It's just too warm today that's all!"
"Is that so?", Takagi is deep in thoughts, "Oh yes Chii-chan, have they released the examination results from last time?"
"Not yet mommy...", Chii-chan lowered her head, her hands squeezing the bag strap tightly, "The teacher said ehh, might be a few days late for the results."
"Is that so... then put the bag down and let's have dinner, your father will not be home today.", luckily, Takagi bought the lie, seemingly, she returned to the kitchen to finish the chores. "Phew...", Chii-chan let out a soft sigh of relief, putting down her bag and started helping her mother setting the dinner table. Takagi smiled after seeing her daughter being so eager, let out a sincere smile, as for Chii-chan, she was just trying to hide the guilt of her lies. However, all lies will come exposed one day.
"Chii-chan.", she was already rather unsettled in her bedroom, she shook in fright after hearing her mother's voice, not only because she had lied, also because from her mother's voice she heard a hint of danger. "Mom...", her bedroom door is ajar and Chii-chan had a peek outside. "Chii-chan, come to my room.", Takagi's expressions are calm, but Chii-chan had already realised how bad the situation is, the more calm her mother is, the dire the situation. She walked into the other bedroom with uneasy steps, sat down in front her her mother, facing down.
Takagi sighs softly and spoke up: "Chii-chan, why did you lie?"
"Mom I...", her face blushed bright read, wanting to fend for herself.
"The teach just ran me.", Takagi spoke seriously, then held on to Chii-chan's hand, "Chii-chan, mother will not blame you for not doing well in the exams, but a good child should absolutely not lie to her mother.", Chii-chan looks away, not daring to speak back. "Mommy always trusted you, and never punished you.", Takagi's expressions are very serious, unlike her usual gentle self. Takagi sat down on her bed, tapping on her legs hinting to Chii-chan, "Chii-chan, come and lie down over my legs."
"EEEEhhhh! Mom?", Chii-chan was frightened, subconsciously covering her buttocks. Mother had never hit her growing up, but this time...
"Mommy must make you aware of the cost of lying.", Takagi's voice is gentle, but carring hints of irrefutability. "I... I understand.", Chii-chan pouted her mouth, after fighting her own thoughts briefly, she mustered the courage, obediently lied down over her mother's legs.
"Now that's a brave Chii-chan.", Takagi's voice is kind, but she still raised her palm, to raise her daughter correctly is a mother's duty.
"Please don't hit me mommy, I shouldn't have lied... waaaahhh!!", continuously and firmly the palm struck the buttocks, even with her trousers still own Chii-chan felt her bottom ablaze with pain.
"This is the first time mommy hit you, and hopefully the last.", mommy's gentle voice rings again in Chii-chan's ears, next to her blushed cheeks, and just when Chii-chan thought it was over, coldness rushed over her back, her trousers and panties have already been pulled down to her knees, her pale buttocks lies bare in the air. "AAAAAHHHH!", Chii-chan's face instantly turned bright red like a fully ripe peach, "Please mom, don't hit me with the pants off, Chii-chan is not a kid anymore, uuuuu! AAHH!!"
It's a shame the girl's pleads were quickly drowned out by her mother's palms. Unlike her school mates, because Takagi is gentle in every day life, her tender buttocks were never ever punished, and because of this, this first punishment was extra cruel for her. "Uuuuu, mommy I'm sorry, I'll never do it again!", unknowningly, tears streamed down Chii-chan's face. The girl's lies eventually warranted the equivalent punishment.
